Associated Press reporter Matt Lee doesn’t understand how Kerry can go from a full-throated advocacy of military action against Syria to saying that Obama seeking the approval of Congress is ‘courageous’. And as usual he doesn’t disappoint. He asks Psaki if Kerry and others had their spines removed over the weekend just so they could agree with Obama:

Psssst…here’s a little secret…he never had one to begin with.

great question Matt………you’ve asked a few over the last six months or so that can’t be endearing you to the folks upstairs at State . But when rational people are asked to accept that 2+2=3 …………asking what gives is only natural . Kerry should resign as soon as practicable ………….few public servants have ever been hung out to dry as publicly and quickly as he was Saturday . ” Secretary of State John Kerry announced this morning that he is stepping down January 1 st due to the illness of his wife “………..that’s not so hard is it ?

Stehekin912

One other thing..why do they bother to ask the talking mouthpieces anything at all? They just babble some gobbledeegoop supporting whatever their master says (well, uh, Matt, uh…) and does.

‘Hanoi John’ had his spine removed when he got back from Viet Nam. He must have Alzheimer’s too, he seems to have forgotten this song.

Barry doesn’t want to step on the inevitable land mine he laid with the red line comment aka “sorta-kinda threat”. He wants Congress along for the blast of egg on his face when his “shot over the bow” gets a huge laugh from the world.

Please department of state explain the authority that you claim the president has to proceed without congress….. I have read unlike the department of state a document and I will add very important document called the Constitution of the United States and the document i consider less important WPA…. Either give the president authority to act unless a attack on the U.S. is imminent or has occurred!!!! congress must approve period….. Frankly this current congress may not be that much of a hurdle and the start of spine removal surgery happened years ago and is ongoing….

Got to hand it to this guy…he sure put things in proper perspective. Love it. Although I do not think he will be invited to the White House any time soon I honestly don’t think he would go anyway.

Kerry doesn’t have a spine, that’s an empty ketchup bottle holding him up. Mama bear is close by just in case his bottle collapses. She’s got lots of them don’t you know?
Mama bear must’ve been pretty desperate, to put up with a buffoon like him.
I still don’t get i, t from throwing your military medals over the fence to become, Secretary of State? Yeah, you expect me to follow you in battle? Yeah sure John, you go ahead and lead, I’ll catch up to you.

What I wish he (or someone) would ask is his:
“Why now is the president seeking the approval of congress, especially since he has made it clear several times that he is more than willing to go around congress or simply ignore them?”

This is what the libs do best! They make Obama smell like Mr. Clean! None of the alphabet channels report the truth about Syria and who the rebels truly are! They cut and splice the news! Crooked, and deceitful cover-ups is what they have come to be known as.

E Lee Zimmerman

Wow. Did this idiot spokeswoman come right from the kegger to the podium?

Typical Obama and Kerry. During the Vietnam War Kerry threw away a copy of the medal he received in made up combat as protest for war crimes that never happened; laying the blame of unverified war crimes on some military that he wasn’t a member of. (You know, “It was L.B.J’s fault.”) Now Obama instead of shouldering responsibility for any lives lost or damages all of a sudden needs Congress’ approval for something he didn’t approval of last week. This time he can’t blame Bush so he’ll just blame everybody else if it blows up in his face. So, Kerry blamed the other soldiers and Obama blames the other America. Just Democrat cowards acting like Democrats.

that’s an easy one. He’s going to Congress in an attempt to cover his A$$ for the ‘Red Line’ remark. Just like he tried to do in Sweden. “I didn’t say that, the world did”.

Matt, Matt, Matt. Kerry married two obscenely rich women to get where he is today. That should tell you all you need to know about spine.

No, you brainless bitch, Obama does not have the authority to launch an attack without Congressional approval. That 60 day leeway is only for when the President needs to act because the United States is under eminent threat. Obama has yet to explain what our interests are there to begin with, let alone what threat he is heading off. All McCain has said is that if we don’t believe we have national security interests in Syria then we don’t understand the situation, yet he never explained what it was.
If you want to use the argument that we have to secure those chemical weapons because in the wrong hands they could be a threat to the United States, then you’re going to have to explain to me why Obama is only doing a limited strike. Obama said the goal is not to remove Assad and not to destroy the chemical weapons. In other words, it’s just to send a shot across the bow and to save face.
WWIII so Obama can salvage his reputation? NO !

Desjardins

Spine removed? That assumes he once had one, no evidence to support that.

Bob Yepper

Dr. Strangelove I know it is like this guy can’t date a thoudandair… In addition he is the most spineless crap. I have met vietnam vets that are in outrage over what he did in Vietnam he knew if he got so many p harts he would be out of country….

” They did cross the Red Line, it wasn’t my Red Line because I dont remember saying it was my Red Line so they must have crossed another Red Line, militarily speaking. And that cannot be permitted, I mean crossing a Red Line without permission is just wrong and something needs to be done about it.
And another thing, I think its time that the Rich pay their fair share of supporting military action against crossing a Red Line, I’m tired of the poor always having to pay for the military action when a Red Line is crossed somewhere and that needs to be changed so that the burden of penalizing those who cross a Red Line somewhere doesnt always fall on the downtrodden and disenfranchised not to mention those who are fighting for their voting rights like those who are already dead and those who are here illegally. I mean why you they have to pay for military action against those who cross a Red Line when iot isnt even our Red Line that was crossed.
Illegally, I might add………..”

Isn’t it ironic that these Washington morons are referring to Kerry as a “war veteran”?
I have friends who have been and continue to be stationed in the Middle East (Baghdad, Afghanistan, etc.) and one in particular sent me pictures he had taken when Kerry made a surprise visit over there (in Baghdad – before Kerry became SecState)… Kerry sat alone in the chow hall… literally. He is hated by our military – pretty much across the board. Deservedly so.
How appropriate that Obama selected this walking pile of feces to represent him (Obama) to the world.

Cut ‘em some slack… it is difficult for the low-info citizen to discern what is Constitutionally appropriate when you have RINOs in the opposing party, like John McCain & Lindsey Graham, telling them that it is Constitutional and then push for broader strike.

Indeed. He nevr had a spine in the first place to be removed. “Reporters” do nothing but fabricate a narrative then report on it. Actual news and investigative reprting is a foreign concept.

Kerry lost his spine more than 50 years ago – spineless, marxist democrat – traitor!

GregoryYates

Times like this, I don’t understand why noone stands up and corrects on
fallacies such as Obama having power to act without Congress. She needed
to be publicly challenged on that point.

USMC 64-68

GregoryYates
I can think of 2 reasons, none good.
First, a lot of politicians don’t have a clue what the Constitution says, or even the War Powers Act.
Second, those who do have the knowledge, don’t have the cojones to oppose the marxist Obummer.

http://Yahoo NPC1

USMC 64-68 GregoryYates That is why we have lawyers running this country.
I forgot when it was, but a bunch of years ago the government made a statement regarding how many lawyer we have in the government, I was amazed by the numbers, and it has been very evident that no matter, how ‘right is right’ , there will be another that will try to prove ‘that right is wrong’. and more often than not ‘right wound up caving in’. Prime example are some of the recent supreme court decisions .Most notorious case was Obama care job.

Amazing that a SCOTUS justice would make that decision, but how much more disgusting that it was the #1 guy. Even more horrible, he showed absolutely no shame in his sell out of the Constitution and the people of America.
